What are the longterms effect of smoking pot everyday?!
Question: The common answer is short term memory loss, but that's not long term is it? Ha, well anyway I used to smoke a lot of pot, everyday for years. I stopped doing this years ago, although once in a while I would still indulge myself. It started to really get to me, make me sluggish, lazy, slower to react, so I stopped.
But, I believe everyone is different and has different body chemistry. I have a friend who still smokes everyday several times a day and smokes very potent pot. He seems the same as he was 10 years ago to me, and it apparently affects him differently than it did me in the long term. I know others that have become very, uh you could say burnt out from pot.
I think there may be a cumulative effect of THC on the brains chemistry, but I think it's relative to: how much you smoke, how often, the quality of the pot and your own body chemistry and make-up. Everyone is different.
You have brilliant scientists that smoked pot (Carl Sagan) and you have people who just end up eating a lot of doritos and playing video games for hours everyday.

If you smoke skunk, the post potent form of pot, apparently it will give you psychosis (excuse spelling) in the long term.
About 2 third of ppl in mental health places in the UK have some form of pot addiction :O
you get to look like nicole richie
Lung cancer. New research has shown that smoking 1 joint is equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes when it comes to causing lung cancer

Brain cells do not regenerate after they are lost. The brain can only use another area to compensate for lost areas & this is not always possible. (This is in response to the girl who answered after me)
Well,
You can lose a tiny bit of past memory, it also does burn brain cells (which do grow back over time)...
Long-term regular users of marijuana may become psychologically dependent. You may have a hard time limiting your use, you may need more of the drug to get the same effect, and you may develop problems with your job/school and personal relationships. The drug can become the most important aspect of your life.
People who smoke marijuana often tend to develop the same kinds of breathing problems that cigarette smokers have. They suffer frequent coughing, phlegm production, and wheezing, and they tend to have more chest colds than non-users.
Hope that helps?
You will get addicted. You can get addicted to pot. You will be angry whenever you don't have it and it can be unbearable to be around you. It isn't an addiction like cigarettes, but you will want it and you will be miserable whenever you don't have it. You will smoke more and more of it. You will be coughing all the time and always be spiting up mucous. Its quite disguising. It is hard and nearly impossible to take on a plane, so unless you have a contact where you go on vacation, then you won't be able to enjoy it as much as if you didn't smoke.
